To all listmasters: My name is Donna, and I'm the creator/administrator of a manually-run mailing list. I'm looking a place that will sponsor the list in an effort to get the mail to list members in a more timely and efficient manner. Here is some info about the list: The name of the list is the Sparta P.D. Mailing List (would probably be sparta-l or spartapd-l if moved to a listserver), and it's run by me, Donna...a.k.a. Karkinnen. Sparta P.D. is a place where fans of the TV police drama, "In the Heat of the Night" can meet to discuss such things as cast, episodes, characters, music from the show, plotlines, other projects of the show's stars, etc. The official start of the list was on January 1, 1997, and it currently has 25 subscribing members, myself included. At the moment, this is a low-traffic list, but it's been picking up in the last week or so, now that everyone's getting "settled in." In addition to the regular discussions, I also post updates to my "In the Heat of the Night" Home Page to the list, as well as weekly episode listings for TNT, WGN, etc. The list has a separate page that is linked to the main HOTN page...this list page is registered with the major search engines, including Yahoo (where it's listed under both the Mailing List category and the appropriate TV show category). As the show still airs twice a day on TNT, and is in syndication on various other channels across the country, it still maintains a large and loyal fan following. Even if this list becomes automated, I'll still assume the duties of list administrator and will handle any conflicts/problems which arise. I'm expecting the number of list members and messages to climb, which is part of the reason I'm looking for a listserver to host us. If anyone out there is interested in hosting our mailing list, please email me directly, as I usually don't follow this group. Thanks!! Donna Brown Sparta P.D.
